We’ve weathered some of the most table-shaking astrology of the year in just the first half of 2025. Eclipses that cracked open hidden truths, planetary alignments that rattled the foundations of our plans, and cosmic shifts that asked us to outgrow outdated identities at warp speed. Now, the waters are beginning to settle. The dust has cleared just enough for us to look around and ask: What parts of me have integrated the change? What parts are still rearranging themselves?
It’s time to put our house in order, spiritually, emotionally, and creatively. What have we learned from the breakdowns? What still doesn’t make sense? What questions are still bubbling under the surface, especially when it comes to our creative calling, our capacity to imagine something freer, more aligned, more alive? This is the month to get some solid answers — just trust then when you receive them.
Aries
Leo season is an important one for you, Aries, as it’s going to test your emerging relationship boundaries. 2025 has begun a life-changing process for you, and as your planet, Mars, enters Libra on August 6 and clashes with retrograde Saturn and retrograde Neptune in your sign between now and August 17, you’ll be asked to rethink your approach to your closest relationships. What feels right and no longer does? How is your version of the ideal friendship or relationship evolving? While at first it might seem like you need to rush to figure this out, the many retrograde planets in the sky are giving you time to think things through. If you are already partnered, the rare and sweet conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, active between August 6 and August 17, would be one of the best times to create the perfect space for your relationship to deepen and thrive. A weekend getaway at the August 9 Full Moon might just be what you need to soak up the romantic vibes.
Taurus
Prepare for a busy season ahead, Taurus! Mars enters your daily work sector on August 6, most likely landing projects on your desk that might need to be developed or finished over the next 6 weeks. The days between August 6 and August 17 look particularly busy, so make sure to set aside enough time to rest to be able to keep up with what is required of you. Since Mars will be traveling in the air sign Libra, you might be having meetings during which you will be asked to harness your diplomatic and negotiating skills as well. Communication, in general, will play a key role for you this month.
Gemini
Hold on to your seat, Gemini, because Leo season promises to be busy! Mars entering Libra is one of the defining aspects of the season ahead, which will kickstart your social life and perhaps even your romantic life. As you run around in full-on social Leo season furor, meeting new people, the boundaries between friendship and romance might seem a little blurry. The question of who is meant to be a friend and who is meant to become a lover might come up between August 6 and August 17.
But what’s most exciting about Leo season, Aquarius, is that it brings an energy that your sign is very familiar with. The sextile between Saturn and Uranus that is active all season long, but becomes stronger on August 11, is all about blending method and tradition with a futuristic and more modern approach to life. This is what Aquarian energy excels at, giving you the opportunity to showcase what it’s done by applying it to whatever your focus is during the season ahead.
Cancer
Your career is front and center during Leo season, Cancer, especially as Mars in Libra activates retrograde Saturn and Neptune between August 6 and August 17. You might run into projects needing to be rethought entirely or even dissolved, which is one of the astrological signatures of 2025. In the end, retrograde planets are about rethinking, reviewing, and revising. Along this process, you’re being asked to channel your inner diplomat due to Mars traveling in Libra for the next six weeks. Relationships also play a key role this season as Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, enters your sign on July 30. While the first days of this transit might seem intense, an energy of warmth will begin to permeate your life between August 6 and August 17.
Leo
A powerful season is ahead, and not only because it’s your birthday, Leo. Between July 22 and July 29, deep transformation is the name of the game for you, which will be reflected in your appearance, your relationships, and even in the way you process information. This “new way of being in the world” is born at the July 23 New Moon, which is all about setting intentions for both your short-term and long-term goals.
The August 9 Full Moon is one of the most important lunar events of the year for you, bringing insight into ways your relationships are changing. A personal bond might crystallize now, or a business relationship might show signs of development. Should you need to make important decisions around this time, call in the help of Pallas, the Greek goddess of logic and wisdom. The asteroid named after her is currently traveling in your sign, giving you the gift of clarity and strategy.
Virgo
Big awakenings are on the table this season, Virgo, as the July 24 New Moon in Leo opens the door for previously hidden information to come out and find you. These realizations could very well be related to the events that transpired at the end of Cancer season, which might be related to the desire to change your lifestyle and maybe even your career-related habits. The results of the lifestyle changes that you make now will be visible soon, two weeks later, as the August 9 Full Moon rises in the sky.
Along those lines, the six-week transit of Mars through your second house of money that begins on August 6 brings the need to set financial boundaries either for yourself or for your entire household. This influence will be particularly strong if you share expenses with a romantic partner, which you can expect to reach Peak between August 6 and August 17. The changes that you make now could have positive financial effects in late August and the beginning of September.
Libra
Good thing your sign is the zodiac sign of diplomacy, Libra, because this is a characteristic that is going to be very useful this season. Venus entering Cancer on July 30 brings the need to have serious career-related conversations with either partners or collaborators. Reviewing deals made before is also an option, as retrograde energy is greatly activated now. While the beginning of August might hold a little bit of a tense vibe, as the season progresses, good news could hit your inbox as August 11 arrives.
Scorpio
Once every two years, every zodiac sign experiences a time during which the universe requires deep introspection, rest, and reflection. For you, that time arrives between August 6 and September 21. Whenever you feel tired, it is your cosmic cue to rest instead of pushing against the current. It is during these restful times that you might find creative solutions to problems—after all, Leo season is the first of many seasons that inspire reviewing and reconsidering past actions. By doing so, you ensure that you can recover your energy for the upcoming six-week period, which will ignite you with fire and productivity!
Sagittarius
Leo season promises to be a busy time for you, Sagittarius. After deeply working on a project during Cancer season, Leo season is more about connection, collaboration, and community. As Mars enters Libra on August 6, you begin six weeks of social interactions. As you make your public rounds in both your personal and professional lives, you might notice the lines between friendship and collaboration being blurred, with friends becoming colleagues and the other way around. Love and romance are also highlighted for you this season. If you’re single, the July 23 activation between Venus, Mars, and the Lunar Nodes could bring a fated or destined person into your life. If you’re already committed, the most awaited astral meetup of 2025 could be what dreams are made of.
Capricorn
Your career is strongly highlighted this season, Capricorn! Once every two years, every zodiac sign experiences a time during which the universe pushes forward your goals and projects. For you, that time arrives between August 6 and September 21 as Mars enters Libra. At first, you might need to make important decisions (between August 6 and August 17), requiring you to get crystal-clear and ultra-focused to avoid confusion. But once this dust is settled, you’ll experience some of your most productive weeks in 2025. Romance is also written in your stars this season! The Grand Water Trine formed in the sky between August 9 and August 19 sets the stage for you to meet new romantic prospects if you are single. If you’re already dating someone, you are receiving one of the most romantic alignments of the entire year as Venus and Jupiter meet, activating your seventh house of partnerships.

Pisces
You welcome the season with big news concerning your career as Venus and Mars activate a destiny-type of energy around July 23. This could mean new projects landing on your desk or new collaborators coming into your orbit. This season, however, is one to be extra mindful about your spending, as on two different occasions (July 30 and August 8), you might be tempted to overspend. On a more fun note, you’re receiving some stellar aspects for love and romance as Venus cozies up to Jupiter between August 6 and August 17. The weekend of the August 12 Full Moon, in particular, seems glorious for meeting not only romantic partners but friends, too. If you’re already partnered, you’ll feel in your element during the Grand Water Trine that is active between August 9 and August 19.
